The mighty main wall of Tantallon Castle in East Lothian, seen from Seacliff. It is built across the neck of a rocky headland surrounded by cliffs. The castle's origins date back to the mid-1300s and it saw three centuries of conflict. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/northberwick/tantalloncastle/index.html

Views from New Brighton State Park during a water break on the bike ride this morning.

Left: New Brighton State Park looking south toward Seacliff State Beach.
Right: New Brighton State Park looking north toward Capitola and Pleasure Point.

Pleasure Point is one of the better surfing spots in the Santa Cruz area.

Seacliff State Beach on our daily Alie dog walk.

It's always interesting to see the sculptures that people make out of the driftwood. An act of artistic serendipity that brings joy to the walks.

Left: Remains of the cement ship Palo Alto and driftwood sculptures. The pier that was damaged in the January storms has been removed.
Right: Seacliff driftwood sculptures looking southwest. The Moss Landing power plant towers can be seen in the distance on the left. The Palo Alto is out of picture to the right.

The pier is gone and cement boat is broken-up and sinking more. Storm of 22-23 were brutal for Seacliff

Humbug Mountain from the south. An impressive headland and a scenic spot from which to view it. Southern Oregon coast, March 1984.

Bass Rock seen from the superb beach at Seacliff in East Lothian, a place that comes complete with a ruined castle and a contender for the title of Scotland's smallest harbour. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/northberwick/seacliff/index.html

Seacliff State Beach on the Alie walk this morning. It was nice to have the sun out.

#Seacliff Beach on the morning Alie walk in between the rain. The #Aptos Creek and remnants of the Spreckels sugar pier in the foreground. The remains of the SS Palo Alto and then Pleasure Point in #Capitola in the background.

#Seacliff State Beach and the cement ship SS Palo Alto with a tease of blue sky on our Alie walk in a light rain this morning.

#CA state parks is working on cleaning up the area to make it safe for people to walk down there.

An assessment is schedule for Tuesday 1/17 to potentially identify when the park may be reopened for limited use.

A hawk or maybe a falcon hovering over the cliff at #Seacliff State Beach during our walk this morning. The wind helped it hover, motionless. It hovered for several minutes and was probably 20 to 30 feet from us.

#Seacliff State Beach repair work on 1/12/23. The photo on the right is the picnic area walkway repair with crews preparing the area for the large boulders that will help protect the walkway. The left photo shows the large boulders stacked that presumably help protect the walkway from the waves.

#Seacliff State Beach is a popular picnic and RV area. It is a destination for central valley residents escaping the summer heat.

Remains of the SS Palo Alto and the newly storm damaged pier at #Seacliff State Beach as seen yesterday from above the cliff. The metal plates that were the foundation for the original seawall can be seen sticking out of the beach.

@jaymckinsey We moved to #Seacliff about that time and I also remember we could walk onto the front half of the ship. I didn't know there was a sister ship, the SS Atlantus. I found a web site just now, on the concrete ships: https://www.concreteships.org/ships/ww1/atlantus/death.html.

I borrowed a couple of photos. The left photo is the Concrete ship SS Atlantus in 1926 and the right photo is the SS Atlantus in an apparently recent photo.

Whistlestop Scotland: Seacliff Beach

This stunningly beautiful private beach near North Berwick in East Lothian offers glorious views to the Bass Rock gannet colony - the largest in Europe - and Tantallon Castle, as well as offering some fascinating geology and what is reportedly the UK's smallest harbour carved into the sandstone rocks.

SS Palo Alto and pier at #Seacliff State Beach after storm damage today in the left photo. The right photo shows SS Palo Alto and pier on 12/29/22 showing where the pier was prior to the damage.

Originally the bow of the ship came up to the end of the pier. Years of storms broke the ship into 3 large sections and twisted and moved the bow away from the pier.
